Topic: Online Resources for Research in Adolescent Literacy

10-second review: Five Websites dealing with adolescent literacy.

Title: “Research Connections: Websites on Adolescent Literacy Research.” DW Moore. Journal of Adolescent and Adult Literacy (October 2008), 166-168. A publication of the International Reading Association (IRA).

Websites:
Ad Lit. www.adlit.org
Alliance for Excellent Education. www.all4ed.org/
Carnegie Corporation’s Advancing Literacy Initiative. www.carnegie.org/literacy/index.html
Center on Instruction. www.centeroninstruction.org/index.cfm
International Reading Association: Focus on Adolescent Literacy. www.reading.org/resources/issues/focus_adolescent.html Between “focus” and “adolescent” is a low dash.

Comment: The author reminds his readers that although these Websites contain valuable resources, they are not all encompassing. Don’t forget books and periodicals devoted to adolescent literacy. RayS.
